BACKGROUND

[0001] Field of Invention

[0002] After making my invention Coon Cans, I had no ideal what to do next or how to bring it to the next level, I looked in the Bellsouth telephone book to find someone to help me and found Affiliated Inventors Foundation, Inc., 1405 Potter Dr., #107, Colorado Springs, CO 80909-3516 1-800-525-5835.

[0003] A service provided by AIF was to document my idea on the Record of Invention, and to register my invention with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office through the Disclosure Document Program for the price of $34. (U.S.) if the coupon is valid $54. (U.S.) if coupon has expired.

[0004] Preliminary Appraisal free if coupon is still valid, $45. if coupon has expored.

[0005] If I wanted to order both services $34. (U.S.) if coupon are still valid, and $99. (U.S.) if coupon expired.

[0006] Evaluation Report $160 (payment in full with coupon) or $85. down $85. on completion (with coupon).

[0007] This is what I've been doing from the 17th day of October 2000 to the 22nd day of March 2000, when I received my Evaluation Report.

[0008] After paying, and receiving my Evaluation Report I decided to do something I should have done in the beginning, call the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office myself and have the information I needed sent to my home, and I would not have lost as much time as I have.

[0009] Now I'm seeking a Non-Provisional Utility Patent Application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Off.

[0010] There are many games on the market for childred to play, but COON CANS is new and unique. There are no games that I know of that use cans.

[0011] COON CANS is a new and unique idea.

A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION COON CANS

[0015] The object of the game is to have fun, the purpose of the game is to knock down the cans so that you can win, but you must knowck down the cans with the ball only, not with your hands, set up the game 25 or 30 feet apart, rotate, how to make points to win and where to buy the game at relailed level and where to find the inventor.

[0016] 1 DRAWING of 3 players, 2 bases, 6 cans, one bat, one ball. COON CANS is 3 games in one Golf, Bowling, and Base Ball. Golf is when the batter is trying to hit the ball into the cans. Bowling is when the pitcher is rolling the ball very, very hard trying to knock down the cans and Base Ball is when the batter runs from base to base while the pitcher throws the ball to the catcher to knock down the cans with the ball and put the batter out. Coon Cans may have the potential of commercial success I already have a working model, the game is playable from begining to end.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT How to Rotate

[0017] #1 He is the catcher he goes to the pitcher's position, #2 he is the pitcher he goes to the batter's position, #3 he is the batter he goes to the catcher's position.

[0018] The purpose of the game is to knock down the cans with the ball only, not with the bat or with your hands.

[0019] The game COON CANS need 3 players, 6 cans, 2 bases, one bat, and one ball.

[0020] The pitcher or the catcher knocks down the cans with the ball, and when he knock down the cans with the ball he must say coon cans, because if he don't say coon cans the batter gets the point (One Point).

[0021] Lets call the player #1 Tom, player #2 Dick, and player #3 Larry. Tom is the catcher, Dick is the pitcher, and Larry is the batter. Tom and Dick sets up the game. They sets the bases at least 25 or 30 feet apart facing each other.

[0022] Tom and Dick get 3 cans each. One feet in front of the bases Tom and Dick set up their cans. Two cans standing up and the third can lying across on top of the 2 cans.

[0023] Larry stands in front of Tom the catcher cans, with a bat in his hand, the bat's head is facing the ground, not in the air.

[0024] Tom and Dick stands behind their cans with their feet on their bases. Tom and Dick must try to upt larry out, and they must have their feet on their base fefore they can knock down the cans with the ball, unless they are throwing the ball to knock down the cans, after that they must say coon cans.

[0025] Dick the pitcher have the ball in his hand, he rolls the ball very, very hard to try to known down Toms cans, but Larry hits the ball and stop dick fromknocking down Toms cans, the ball knock down Dicks cans instead. When Larry hit the ball and knock down Dick's cans Larry must say coon cans. The gaim is over, Larry wins the game because he knocked down Dick's cans by hitting the ball into Dick's cans and saying coon cans.

[0026] If Larry, instead of hitting Dick's cans with the ball, hit the ball 25 or 30 feet away (accidently, because the purpose of the game is to k nock down the cans) from Dick's cans to the left or the right, Larry then runs to step on Dick's base while Dick is getting the ball, then he runs back to Toms base and stop on it, that's one point for Larry. If Larry can go and step on Dick's base again and back to Tome's base that's two points. 10 points game is over.

[0027] But, if Larry only makes on epoint, and while he's running back to Tom's base from trying to make 2 points, and Dick pitches the ball to Tom, and Tom catches, the ball and knowck the cans down with the ball Larry is out with one point. (Rotate).

[0028] If Larry hit the ball to to the left or the right of Dick's cans, but do not hit the ball far enough away, and Dick run and get the ball before Larry can run to his base, Larry must stand on Tom's base and don't move but say coon cans. If Larry does this 3 times in a row he's out. (Rotate).

[0029] If Dick pitches the ball while Larry is running and knock down Tom's cans or his cans, and say coon cans, the game is over. (Rotate).

[0030] If All 3 players play the game once, the player with the most games or points at the end of the games is the winner.

[0031] The original players can start the game over, or new players can play.

[0032] If when Dick rills the ball to Larry, and Larry hit the ball high in the air (accident, because the purpose of the game is to knock down the cans, and the cans are not in the air), and Dick catches the ball before ball fall to the ground Dick can walk to his cans, and knock doen the can with the ball and say coon cans.

[0033] The game is over, Larry is out. (Rotate).
